Hello,

I am trying to get help regarding a billing and cancellation issue, but I have not been able to reach a human agent through chat.

Last year, I subscribed to an Adobe student account. I no longer need this subscription, as I now have access through my company’s enterprise plan.

Recently, when I attempted to cancel, I was offered a promotion (1 free month followed by €19.33/month). At no point was it clearly explained that accepting this would create a new annual commitment.

I was then unexpectedly charged €41.33, without clear prior explanation.

Now, when I try to cancel, I am being asked to pay a €227.30 cancellation fee, with the message stating that this is based on the original contract. This is confusing and contradictory, given the supposed change in terms.

I believe this situation lacks transparency and I did not give informed consent to a new annual commitment.

I would like:

  • Immediate cancellation without penalty
  • Refund of the €41.33 charge

Could someone from Adobe support please assist or escalate this case?

Thank you in advance.

    The free offer was a retention incentive, to keep you from cancelling.

    You should have declined that offer and cancelled as intended.

     

    Now you’ll be asked to pay a 50% early termination fee to cancel the unwanted plan.

    Good luck.

    no one here can do that for you.  you must contact adobe support and make that request.

     

    you can use social media or adobe’s chat option to contact support.
